Must win game against Despodov's ex-team.

[Dutch Eagle]

Sastre injured too. So he won't be available just like Pelkas, Michailidis and Giakoumakis. 

Centre backs left for this match Kedziora and Vogliacco. So Thymianis will probably be included and maybe Lucescu will consider Mady or Meite as CB in case of emergency. And a youngster as plan C on the bench.

[pash]

Kedziora and Vogliacco are actually a pretty solid back line IMO. I will bless them as a good duo!

[Blackhawk]

I am pretty sure Lovren will get a start as one of the CB's. He was solid in the Aris game.

Romanian crew to officiate this game.

Thought he was not on the UEFA-list. But he is. 

Only played in the League so far. Not in Europe and not in the Cup.

[Dutch Eagle]

Squad is out. No Lovren. Not even on the bench. Was he really on the list?

[Blackhawk]

[Blackhawk]

Lovren has a minor injury and it was decided to rest him for the game on Sunday. He did not travel to Bulgaria.

[Blackhawk]

Common Chalov, that needs to go in the net.

[Dutch Eagle]

Oxi Pavlenka. What are you doing? 1-0 down. 

Have to take that back.

Replay: could not do better. Not his fault.

Edited December 11 by Dutch Eagle
Pavlenka not to blame.

[Dutch Eagle]

GGGGOOAAALLLL Despodov 

[pash]

That despodov goal was so beautiful I literally yelled out "oh my GAWD" as it went in

[Dutch Eagle]

Super assist Ivanusec. Great finishing Despodov like Quaresma's trademark in his best days. 

[Blackhawk]

That was a beauty.

[pash]

Was that tapped in? Wow

[Dutch Eagle]

Vogliaccooooooo 1-2

[PaokCT]

GOAL VOGLIACCO

[Dutch Eagle]

Might be counted as an owngoal. As the ball could have gone wide. But who cares?

[pash]

Silly appeal for a PK a few minutes ago, glad that yielded a yellow 

[Dutch Eagle]

Konstantelias subbed in; Ivanusec subbed out.

[Dutch Eagle]

Kedziora with a save like the US-hockyers did in 1980 in Lake Placid. 

Corner headed over the bar by a Ludo-player while being totally unmarked. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Mythou, Mady and Zivkovic now subbed in. Taison, Ozdoyev and Chalov subbed out.

[Dutch Eagle]

Mady with a non-existent yellow.
